Samantha Abate – Marine Biology at UCSB, Week 1
Hello! My name is Samantha Abate and I am interning at UCSB in Santa Barbara, California. Throughout this internship, I am hoping to gain some experience with marine biology as well as learn a little bit more about California schools. This first week has unfortunately been very chaotic. Almost everyone in the lab that we […]
Emma Galleger, Marine Biology, UC Santa Barbara
Hi everyone, my name is Emma Galleger and this was my first week working in the Miller lab for marine biology, at UC Santa Barbara.

Maddison Coca, Physical Chemistry at University of Houston, Week Five
Hello! As I publish this blog, I am overwhelmed with emotions. Excitement to get back to my loved ones, sadness that the time I have spent here has gone too fast, and a bit a relief from knowing I’ve put all of my effort and more into making this opportunity worthwhile. Even though this will […]
Luka Remec-Organic Chemistry-Engle Lab-Week 3
This week was a shorter one as I had Thursday and Friday off because of the 4th of July. In terms of reactions, we continued to purify some compounds made last week. As we had a lot of material, the best way to purify is by running them through a column. The column is filled […]
Jerry Sharpe, Computational Biology, Brown University, Week 4
It was another interesting week at the lab. I got to image samples that I segmented, fixed, washed, and placed on slides. It was a self-done project. In the previous week I described the segmenting-fixing-washing process but this week I learned the simple task of putting the samples on glass slides to use underneath a […]

Philip Brooks, Addiction Neuroscience, The George Lab, UCSD, Week 3

Since my mentor’s presentation is next week, she dedicated this week entirely to focusing on her thesis, which is something I cannot assist with. Instead, I was assigned to help Sonja Plasil, a post-doc currently working on a study involving […]

Garrett Shelley – MIX Center Week 5
The fifth week of my internship was really only three days due to the holiday, but they were extremely productive, and the entire week was fun. The first day of the week was devoted to working on asset creation and placement for my own game, Lucid. I learned a lot about Unreal Engine’s terrain system, […]
